I liked that first Strokes album (and still do) but I didn’t like the second one at all, nor anything they did after.

I knew you'd like it And apparently so did Albini because he asked the band to be the opening act for Shellac on their European tour. I don't remember the exact year but it was maybe a decade ago. If I remember correctly the band had basically already broken up by then but went on to the tour because Albini personally asked them to join.

I mean, honestly now:

Yeah, I just can't get into Idles. Nothing to do with how they look though, but I kinda take spenno's point.

Idles are fine. They look fine. The Angus Young schoolboy thing is objectively the most embarrassing look in rockn'roll history. Who cares.
